Gender Differences in Style and
         Vocabulary
There are differences in the way Women and Men talk:

   Biological and Environmental Influences
   Neurological Development
   Role Models
   Life Experiences
Gender Differences in Style and
         Vocabulary
By the time a child is of school age, vocabulary accounts
for the greatest gender difference.

Children will speak of their interests

In general:
   Girls- dancing
   Boys- wrestling
Gender Differences in Style and
                   Vocabulary
Elena Escalera study (Journal of Pragmatics)
  Children’s conversations may be more about activities, than
  differences in conversational goals
    Activity accounts for gender differences to a great degree
Gender Differences in Style and
           Vocabulary
Research shows:
   Women speak more politely than men
   Men use crude and profane language more often

Interestingly:
   When competing, or when men or women speak with a man,
   less noncommittal and imprecise language is used
      Both genders are more direct
Gender Differences in Style and
           Vocabulary
Males and females also differ in their use of nonverbal and
verbal language in conversation.

   Women face their conversation partner
   Men are distant

   Women introduce new topics more frequently than men
     Women sustain a topic infrequently (36%); men (96%)


   Women openly talk about relationships and feelings
   Men favor talking about impersonal topics
Gender Differences in Style and
          Vocabulary
2008- Nat. Institutes of Health, comprehensive survey
(Gender Differences in Language Use)

Findings:
   Women use words related to psychological and social
   processes
   Men refer to object properties and impersonal topics

   Men tend to use language for instrumental purposes
   (conveying information)
   Women tend to use language for social purposes
   (feeling through intense adverbs and modal axillary verbs)
Gender Differences in Style and
           Vocabulary
The study used the “stream of consciousness” context

   Results:

   Female- “Okay, well I am watching this movie. I’m not really
   watching it because I’m typing, but I’m listening to it. I really
   can’t type that well, so there are probably going to be a few
   misspelled words. My sister made me mad a while ago
   because I asked her to call me when her husband got home
   and she didn’t.”

   Male- “I find it amusing that I’m writing a stream of
   consciousness about what I am thinking, my mind is
   completely focused on what I am going to write in the stream
   of consciousness paper. Thus, my stream of consciousness is
   about my stream of consciousness about my stream of
Gender Differences in Style and
            Vocabulary
Communicating between genders is traced to rearing experiences.
Growing up…
   Boys play in large groups/ Girls, in small groups or pairs
   Boys seek a winner/ Girls do not have a winner
   Boys compete for first place/ Girls take turns and share
   Boys boast and achieve status/ Girls seek acceptance
   “Alphas”
   Boys with high status give orders to those of low status.
   Girls manipulate the behaviors of others by offering suggestions.
